Business Trips - Interactive Practice

A: "Hey Mark, I'm assigning you on the Tully project. You'll have to go to California in two weeks."B: "What is my objective over there?"A: "You have to review financial documents over there. If you find something missing, work with their accountants to get the documents you need to complete the analysis."B: "How large is this project?"A: "It's pretty big, so take someone with you. I think you can finish in a week if two of you are working on it."B: "Do we have to arrive there at a certain time?"A: "Not really, but you should get there before lunch to settle in. Then you can get in half a day."B: "Who should I contact when I get there?"A: "I'll email you the details, but you should go book your flight soon."B: "Will do. Do you have a recommendation on who should go with me?"A: "Either Seth or Josh."B: "Ok. I'll find out who has more time."A: "Great. Keep me informed."B: "Got it."

A: "Hey Seth, you wanna go for lunch soon?"B: "How about in 30 minutes. I'm almost done with this section."A: "Ok. Where do you want to eat?"B: "I'm ok with anything, but let's go to a fast food place."A: "There's a Burger King around the corner. Let's go there."B: "Sounds good. One quick question... I'm going to finish all my work tomorrow. If we finish tomorrow, I suggest we head back home tomorrow evening. What do you think?"A: "I think that's doable. We'll see how much we get done today, and if we're close, I'll let them know that we'll be done tomorrow."B: "Sounds good."
